Mr. Butter moved that the convention
proceed to the nomination Of candidate
for mayor. whereuDon some enthusiastic
democrat in the rear OF tine over crowded
hall. shouted, $50 to $40 that Broatch
don t get there" The bet was either i'm.
mediately taken or the noisy individual
was hustled out of the room, because
nothing further was heard from him.
Tho first ballot an informal one, re-
suited in presenting the names of j. w.
Broatch, +. Strang and G. A. Fried. The
ballot was declared to be irregular on the
ground that there were more votes cast
than there were delegates. and the same
was true of the succeeding ballot when
65 votes were cast. On the irst ballot
the Ninth, Fifth and Second wards voted
solid!y for Broatch and his total vote was
35. The Eight ward voted as an unit for
Strang and his total vote was 81.
After the second ballot was declared
the chairman announced that it was void
owing to there being 65 votes for 93 dele
gates. ThereupOn q scene of great ex-
citoment ensued. Mr.. Clark declared it
an outrage that sixty-three men could
not vote without someone stuffing the
box. P. o. Halves said that twice had
Mr.. Broatch been declared the choice of
the convention by a majority vote and
by reclamation. Applause and counter
manifestations) The chairs decision to
take another ballot was finally sustained
and tho vote resulted: Boacth AZ, Strang
81 MIR. Boatch was made the unanimous
nominee OF the convention.
Messrs. Morrow, Clark and Moore
were appointed as q committee to wait
upon Mr.. Boatch, and brought him for.
ward amid a furore of applause. He
said
MIR. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
yention: need hardly say that feel very
thankful to you for this nomination. con-
lican party Of this city, equivalent to an elec.
ton, and II elected you can depend upon me
conducting my share of the city government
upon the same business principles upon
which manage my own affairs. 1 came to
this city thirteen years ago with but little,
and by hard labor and economy have accu-
mulated a competence. Omaha is a prosper
Gus and rapidly growing city, and its citizens
demand that its affairs shall be so managed
that there shall be no extravaganza whilst
continuing an extensive srstem of improve
ments. i do not know that there is anything
| else that will more fully express my thanks
| than that consider 1t very great honor.
